I figured Icarus out

Icarus is a moth.  “No, he wasn’t, the myth says that he was Daedalus’ son and Daedalus was human”  But wait!  I’ve thought this out a bit more than that

Daedalus could have adopted him

He (Daedalus, not Icarus) seemed to be eccentric enough to adopt a moth

He (Icarus this time) flew

He went after the sun (the brightest lamp of them all)

He died when he got too close to the lamp

Both Icarus and moths scare me when they get too close

Reform as well.  At the Kesher services at the senior living facility my grandma lives in, they use tea lights as well.  The woman who usually lights them always asks for a match first, though (she never gets one).  

I know this has been answered for chanukah, but can electric candles replace real candles for shabbat in the case that real candles are not permitted in your living space? (e.g. an apartment or other leased residence)

Mod here. Anon hasn’t restricted this question to any particular FOR, but respondents should give a FOR relevant to their response (e.g. halachic, communal). It may also be helpful to provide reasoning and/or sources since halachic (and spiritual) understandings of electric lights vary even within some communities.

Much thanks! (Todah rabah!)  !תּוֹדָה רַבָּה  

It was during French class, at the end of a standardized testing day.  We were playing a game of chaud et froid, or hot and cold.  A student is looking for a rock.  There are twenty other students chanting décontracté (it means casual) while we are waiting for the first student to get the idea to go through a kid’s hair.

Yemen is facing the worlds largest hunger crisis and the world is too quiet.

And it’s the children that pay the highest price. An estimated 85,000 children have lost their lives to extreme starvation alone. Every 10 minutes, a child under 5 dies of preventable causes in Yemen. When choosing what charities or goals you want to support during the last few days of Ramadan, I urge you to keep the children of Yemen in mind. And if you’re not celebrating Ramadan, or are not religious.. you’re still human.

These are a few of charities that I know of that you can donate to:

https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/yemen-crisis?

https://www.muslimglobalrelief.org/yemen-appeal (100% donation policy)

https://oxfamapps.org.uk/yemen

https://www.dec.org.uk/appeal/yemen-crisis-appeal

http://sharethemeal.org

Remember, it’s the smallest donations that build up or even just rebloging/sharing would help. May Allah smile upon us all, and relieve the children of this world of their heartache.

There’s also a fair chance that he likes at least one of those things and could be using it as a way to connect!

Hi, It would be nice if you could reblog what is happening in Poland right now:

70% of Polish queer kids commit suicides because of the hate they get, because of the support they are not given, because it is legal to say some city is a “LGBT-free zone”.  They dehumanize us, they mock us, they kill us. SPREAD THE WORD
